Children are our hope. But the disparities among children around the world are too huge.
In Istanbul, Turkish children bravely stood up for those in Gaza.
Among the poor majority, children grow up with little: Berber desert nomads in Sahara; Dani in Papua; Bhutanese in a mountain village; Kazakh growing up with golden eagle for hunting.
Among the rich minority, children grow up with safety and resources: children chilling after dinner in Croatia; London children playing water; multiracial children in Amsterdam park; toddlers under childcare in New York City.
We have to do better.

The pandemic prompted a rethink of life and fired a desire to travel, see and understand the world. Travelling the world to open my eyes and mind, I strive to use my amateurish skill to capture the human condition through the lens.
